I am a resident of Kansas City (Jackson County), Missouri, and I've recently embarked upon a genealogical research project for the surnames WOODFORD and WASHINGTON in Woodruff County and Prairie County, respectively. I've read with interest the Prairie County History website, and have the following questions: 1. Does the Cemetery Inscription Book contain actual inscriptions and/or obituary information for the persons listed on the web pages? How can I get a copy of the book? I am specifically interested in inscriptions noted for George WASHINGTON (multiple entries are indicated), Cora WASHINGTON and another WASHINGTON, for whom the given name isn't listed. 2. Does the book contain information on blacks buried in Prairie County? The WOODFORDs and WASHINGTONs included in my research for the time period 1860-1930 are black and mulatto. 3. Is there any information about the WASHINGTON surname in what was previously known as Lower Hill Township (now Biscoe, as I've been told)? I am seeking information related to a 13 year-old black girl named Cora WASHINGTON who may have become pregnant by an older man, named Charlie S. WOODFORD who appears to have been 29 at the time he fathered her child, Rufus C. WASHINGTON. (Rufus C. WASHINGTON is my maternal grandfather, b. 29 Aug 1895, enumerated in 1910 Woodruff County Census in WOODFORD household as "nephew"). The story I've heard is that my grandfather's mother died in childbirth, and his father committed suicide. The family history I have suggests that he went to live with his grandparents in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. However, my research indicates otherwise -- I believe that the 16 year-old Cora Washington I located in the Prairie County 1900 Census is actually my grandfather's mother. My theory is that she and Charlie Woodford conceived a child, and she later married Horace C. WOODFORD in 1904 -- Horace and Cora were in the Woodruff County 1910 Census (Cora was then 26, which makes sense). If Horace did kill himself, then Horace would have married his brother's mate (as was customary years ago), and raised his brother's child as his [Horace's] nephew. I apologize for this lengthy message. Thanks for reading it, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who has valuable information.
